I'm Carolyn Kirimägi. I take on dark and large old tattoos and plan every cover-up so the new piece doesn't give the old one away. I can be commissioned to come and work anywhere in the world. You only need to let me know.
Compared with a regular tattoo, making the design can take up to several dozen hours — so everything can be covered perfectly, and the client gets the best solution.
That time is conversation. A cover-up means a lot of back-and-forth between you and me while the drawing is worked out around the tattoo that is already there. Larger designs start early and go in phases: first a rough sketch to settle the layout, then the detailed drawing. A regular tattoo is quicker, because there is much more free space to design in.
I can be commissioned to come and work anywhere in the world. My studio is at Roheline 74 in Pärnu, Estonia, and the same work can be booked somewhere else. Tell me where.
Cover-ups are my specialty. I build every design around what is already there, so the new piece doesn't give away that it's a cover-up. I'm very critical of my own work: up close I see every detail and know where the old tattoo set the limits. Clients see the finished piece, and they are thrilled with it.

Yes, I take on dark and large cover-ups. How it turns out depends on the size, darkness and placement of the old tattoo. I build the new design around what is already on the skin, so the new piece doesn't give the old one away.
The old tattoo has to be fully healed, ideally several months or years old. How complex the cover-up is depends on the size, darkness and placement of the existing tattoo.
Write to me with your idea, the size and placement, and photos of the tattoo you want covered. Add inspiration pictures if you have them. Complex projects start with a consultation at the studio. A booking needs a €150 deposit, which is deducted from the final price.
